Sopwith Camel N6812, Imperial War Museum London

Sopwith Camel N6812, Imperial War Museum London
This naval 2F.1 Camel hangs inside the Imperial War Museum in London, and it has one of the oddest combat stories of the First World War. On 11 August 1918 Flight Sub-Lieutenant Stuart Culley took off from a lighter towed behind a destroyer and shot down the Zeppelin L 53 over the Heligoland Bight. Camels were credited with more victories than any other Allied fighter of the war, yet few genuine wartime survivors remain, which makes this one worth looking up at.
